How to get to Kilkee. 

Kilkee is located in the scenic west coast of County Clare. It is approximately a 45 minute drive from Ennis travelling on the N68. Kilkee is just beyond mid-way between the the world famous Cliffs of Moher and the unspoilt beauty of Loop Head on the N67 coastal route. If you are coming from County Kerry, the Shannon Ferry is perfectly located connecting Tarbert in North Kerry to Killimer just 15 minutes from Kilkee.
